The Knot of Longing

At the height of their love, he drank a cup of Forgetting Water, forgot her, and left.

When she found him, he had fallen in love with someone else.

Just as she was left utterly broken, disheartened, and ready to leave, he remembered her again.

In one sentence: Longing weaves its knot; a knot of longing, each inch of yearning another knot.
